Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut called Aurangzeb's tomb a "symbol of bravery" of Marathas and said that future generations should know about it. Criticising VHP and Bajrang Dal for staging protests demanding the tomb's removal, Raut said, "People who do not have knowledge of history are asking to remove the tomb." "Stop this drama of protest," he added.
